March 6 Run: Wendy Bennett Trailhead for a Schenley Park run

Next Sunday we'll start at the Wendy Bennett Trailhead, at the start of Overlook Drive, foot of the Schenley Oval.  You know where it is, and if not, just follow Bartlett or Hobart to Schenley Park until you see the group standing around until 7:05 when they will take off in an unknown direction.  

Last Sunday we had a great run up to the top of the Pittsburgh world - the Robert Williams Memorial Park in Herron Hill.  To get there we passed Laurie's house and (sigh) Schenley High School that was, and went up and up and up until we arrived at the path around the reservoir, from which - especially now that the trees are bare - you can see vistas in all directions.  We then came back via the monumental Pitt sports complexes, which somehow also managed to be up and up - defying the laws of physics, but no matter.  We were very glad to finally stop climbing, and initiate the newest local Starbucks (does one open every day on the planet?) and take over a group-friendly table and schmooze for quite a while.  The multitude of topics simply overcame me so I have just a few endorsements to note:

• Charming photography of Belle Epoque Paris at the Frick

• Super low prices for trips to Montreal and other Canada destinations - experience a civilized country for a change

• The Full Monty - latest musical at CMU theater - sadly it's over now but don't miss their next production
